I scored 28/30. I was an Air Defender for most of my 24 years in the Army so it's kind of my thing.

29/30. However, I spent 20 years in the Air Force and am an amateur military history buff.

27/30

One of the ones I missed I disagree with the answer, but don't want to give it away for others.

26/30 with a few lucky guesses...

Used to be big aircraft buff back in the day, but looks like I need to catch back up!

27/30. Not an aircraft buff, but, with a few educated guesses, process of elimination, and a little luck I did pretty well.

27 here. I probably should have missed one or two more. I have heard of most of them, but did not know the model number. Some questions are a bit obscure.
